Two people fall in love, someone dies, and a child survives who will one day shape English literature.
***
In Tudor London, a forbidden love ends in tragedy, but it also brings into the world John Florio, future author of Queen Anna's World of Words and one of the greatest translators of the Renaissance. His father, Michel' Angelo, moves among the most powerful noblemen and women of the era. Yet as passion turns perilous and secrets take root, the black hellebore blooms as a warning that love can be as dangerous as poison.
